Family Vacation

After a week of chilling in La Fortuna it was time to go to Alajuela and pick up the kids. It was unfortunate that at the last minute my son Michael and his family couldn't come but we all decided to make the best of it which is all you can do when life intervenes with your plans. I arrived in Alajuela and settled into the Vida Tropical B&B. This little place is a house in a quiet neighborhood. It was comfortable and the folks there were very friendly and helpful. I hung out in my room, w...

touched down

Wanted to let people know I made it safe and sound. I have been reading so much on Delhi that I think I was prepared for San Jose airport to be crazy as well. Except for long lines it was uneventful. I had a cool taxi driver who endured me speaking broken Spanish to him. The Vida Tropical is really cute and homey with a kitchen and honor system for when you buy drinks. You literally put a bean next to the name of the room you are in and each bean is worth $1.50. They total it at the end of yo...

Day 17 - Alajuela

After breakfast we took a swim in the pool and a dip in their new hot tub. After that we had one of the hotel drivers take us to Zoo Ave which is a rehabilitation zoo for animals who will eventually be returned to the wild. It's expensive for foreigners to get in ($15 vs. $3 for citizens) but the zoo was really nicely done. Saw lots of amazing birds, turtles, iguanas, monkeys, some big cats and lots of other critters. We walked around the zoo for about two hours. Not wanting to go back to the...

Denver to San Jose ... Day 1

... had boarded (a Boeing 757-200) there wasn't an empty seat to be found. We had great seats, 9BC, bulkhead again but with much more room. We lifted off the ground at 5:50 p.m., right on-time. Scheduled for 3 hours 45 minutes at 37,000 feet, we were off and headed over the Gulf of Mexico toward Central America. After an hour, dinner was served. We had a chicken and rice dish, salad, cheese and crackers, a roll and cookie ...

Settling In to Our New Apartment

... can sit in a nice atmosphere, sipping afternoon libations and making plans. We'll reserve that for the garage. Apts. America #2 gives us our first opportunity since October 22nd to cook our own meals. We feel like newlyweds getting settled into a new home for the first time! Even to the point of washing and 'seasoning' a new non-stick pan or two. Saturday morning we walked to the local farmer's market. I am attaching some pictures of our walk and I'm not sure why I never ...

... to get is funding to purchase 5 computers for the school. And although it only requires that the local development association organize a community meeting, vote to include it in their Work Plan for the year, and submit a proposal (with my good work I realize), it¡¦s going to be one of the more difficult projects. The local development association is corrupt I tell you. I¡¦m kidding of course, but the chances of convincing them to put the work into organizing this ...

My first cup of Java

... old and absolutely hated it. At that young age, I proudly pronounced myself, "not a coffee drinker." Instead, I dabbled in chocolate milk and later in life, tea. Carolina, on the other hand, is a Barista (coffee expert) and avid cappuccino maker. Even with our varied perspectives, we were both delighted with the aroma of coffee beans as soon as we pulled into the farm. We were met with a wonderful local ...

Welcome to the Jungles (of Costa Rica)

... the morning. Pauline and I parted ways, both the American way (hugs) and the French way (four pecks on the cheek). We promised to keep in touch, and she would send a postcard from Turkey in a couple weeks. Now I have a friend to visit in Paris, and she has a place to stay in L.A.

It took nearly four hours to get to my hotel. I was the only passenger on the bus, and it took quite a long time down the bumpy mountain roads to get to the paved (albeit two-lane) highway. At one ...
